Abstract

Distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) is the most common human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated peripheral neuropathy with a prevalence of 30-67%. Brief peripheral neuropathy screen (BPNS) examination is a non-invasive, fast, cheap, easy-to-do diagnostic method, and one of the clinical tools that can be used to diagnose HIV-DSP. This study to assess the BPNS diagnostic test as a DSP diagnostic tool in HIV patients. The cross-sectional study was conducted on HIV patients that allegedly having DSP. All subjects were examined by BPNS and nerve conduction study (NCS), then the results were analyzed by chi-square test of a 2x2 Table. There were 42 subjects enrolled in this study. The mean patients were 38.88±8.62 years and most of the male patients were 24 subjects (57.14%). Most of the patients had high school education by 20 (47.61%) subjects and did not take anti-retroviral (ARV) by 18 (42.85%) subjects. Most of the research subjects conducted BPNS disturbed examination by 27 (64.28%) subjects and examination of NCS obtained positive DSP by 30 (71.4%) subjects. The obtained sensitivity of 83% BPNS, 83% specificity, 93% positive predictive value, the negative predictive value of 67%, a positive likelihood ratio of 5.00, and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.20. BPNS examination with 83% sensitivity and 83% specificity can be used as a DSP diagnostic tool in HIV patients.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus(DM) is one of the most common chronic disorder widely prevalent throughout the world. DM is characterized by elevation of blood glucose (hyperglycemia). Hyperglycemia, with time, led to several serious macro and mircovascular complications. The purpose of study was to investigate the relation of Homocysteine(Hcy) with oxidative stress (malondialdehyde”MDA”) and dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetic patients with coronary artery diseases in comparison to patients of coronary artery diseases(CAD) without DM. Methods: The present study included 60 patients of coronary artery disease. Patients divided into two groups: group1 = 30 coronary artery disease patients without diabetic and group2 = 30 coronary artery disease patients with type2 diabetes. Homocysteine was estimated by competitive ELISA test using commercially available kit. MDA was estimated by colorimetric method. Lipid profiles were determined by using commercial available kits. Results: Plasma levels of Hcy and MDA in group1 and group2 were significantly higher (p<0.05) than controls. In group1 Hcy shows significant (P<0.05) positive correlation with MDA and Total Cholesterol (TC). Hcy shows no significant (p>0.05) positive correlation with very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL),and Triglyceride(TG). Hcy shows negative significant (p<0.05)correlation with high density lipoprotein( HDL). While in group2 Hcy shows significant (P<0.05) positive correlation with MDA, TC, VLDL, LDL and TG. Hcy shows negative significant (p<0.05)correlation with HDL. Hcy, MDA, TC, TG, LDL and VLDL were higher without significant in CAD diabetic patients than non-diabetic CAD patients. HDL was lower in diabetic coronary artery disease patients than non-diabetic coronary artery disease patients but without significant importance. Conclusion: In this study Hcy and MDA levels obtained were found to be positively correlated with dyslipidemia in patients in both groups. Hcy may be one of the cause for development and progress of macro- and microvascular disease. Hcy, MDA and dyslipidemia were higher in CAD with DM than CAD without DM this shows that hyperglycemia may be is another factor to increase atherosclerotic process.

Abstract

Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by troubles with social interaction and communication by restricted and repetitive behavior.The parents usually notice signs in the first two or three years of their child’s life. These signs often develop gradually. Blood samples were taken for 60 people with autism and 30 healthy people as a control group. Both groups ranged age from 3 to 8 years . After completion of number, required tests were carried out on samples. The tests were three biochemical markers. The first is neurotransmitters (?ABA), the other enzymes of happiness (Serotonin & Melatonin), all this biochemical markers were measured by elisa technique, the results were a decrease in level of ?ABA for ASD as compare with control group, A significant increases in serotonin in ASD. relative to control group, and no change in level of Melatonin in both ASD and healthy group these results consistent with many research and another research inconsistent with these results have shown the reasons that led to differences in results

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is a chronic infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a facultative intracellular parasite, that can be eliminated by cellular immunity played by macrophages. It has become a debate whether the co-infection of nematodes will affect the immune response of macrophages towards mycobacterium infection. Objective: To reveal macrophage activity and histopathological difference of lung tissue in sequential coinfection of Heligmosomoides Polygyrus towards Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Method: This study used 49 mice divided into 7 treatment groups with Mycobacterium tuberculose infection by inhalation and Heligmosomoides polygyrus orally within 8 and 16 weeks, and observed by immunohistochemical staining. Result: Infection for 8 weeks showed polarization of macrophages towards M1 macrophage, whereas in 16 weeks, the macrophage polarization more towards M2 macrophages, supported by histopathological changes of lung tissue: peribronchiolitis, perivaskulitis, alveolitis, and granuloma formation with counts of acid-resistant germs +3. There was a difference of expression of arginase1 to each group (p <0.001) and there was a difference of T CD4+ Th1 lymphocyte (p <0.001). Conclusion: There is a difference in macrophage activity in lung tissue; however, it does not cause different levels of histopathological changes in lung tissue and does not affect the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

Abstract

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common atopic disease; however, the available therapy has limitation in the usage and its success rate. Desloratadine has a role as an alternative allergic rhinitis therapy to eliminate the overall symptoms of AR and reduce IL-4 level in nasal secretions. Method: This study was double-blind randomised clinical trial with pre-post test design. The data was analyzed by using independent sample t-test. There were 24 AR patients divided into 2 therapy groups which were study group (desloratadine) and control group (loratadine). The evaluation based on SGHT and IL-4 in nasal secretions was conducted pre and post 15 days of therapy. Results: The present study that was conducted on July-October 2016 showed significant difference in the average percentage of reduced TNSS in desloratadine group compared to loratadine group (p=0.000). The comparison of reduced level of IL-4 in nasal secretions between desloratadine and loratadine group was indicated insignificantly different. Conclusion: Reduced TNSS in desloratadine group was higher than in loratadine group. Also, there was no difference in decreased level of IL-4 in nasal secretions.

Abstract

The present study was designed to determine the prevalence of superficial fungal infections among the patients that were living in different circumstances in Diyala region, Iraq. From July 2018 to February 2019. There were (218) patients with ages (2-78) years were surveyed for dermatophyte fungal infections by history and clinical examination. The results revealed that ( 71.2%) of the patients were infected with skin lesions followed by scalp lesions (16.5%) and nail lesions (14.6%). The prevalence rates of dermatophyte fungal infections were linked to the types of tinea infections, including tinea corporis (17.4%), tinea pedis (13.7%), tinea capitis (16.5%), tinea ungium (14.6%), tinea cruris (17.4%), tinea faciale (3.6%). The proportion of fungal infection in rural area(63.6%) was more preponderant in comparison to urban areas (39.8%). Furthermore, the rate of percent infection by tinea capitis (66.6%), tinea corporis (60.5%), tinea cruris (57.8%), were higher in male whereas the percentage of tinea ungium (87.5%) and tinea faciale (62.5%) infections were highest in female. In addition, study demonstrated that indices of tinea infection has been significantly associated with age. This study suggested there has been an exigent need to ameliorate the edification of hygiene values of peoples in addition to increment the economic condition of the society
